In most cases, the update processes two devices at a time. Devices may take several minutes to process the update (some device types
may take longer than others). The page will show a status display indicator for devices that are actively updating and will show any devices
that are pending. Once one device finishes, the controller will move on to the next device and will continue until all devices are updated.
If the Wireless Area Controller is in a location that is visible, the Eaton LED or other LEDs may flash during the firmware update process.
Upon completion, the Eaton LED will turn ON and remain ON and the blue 802.15.4 LED will be illuminated (Other LEDs may also be on
dependent on network connections).

ote:N It is not necessary to keep the computer connected to the system once the device update process starts. To disconnect, select the device log out option
at the bottom of the page and then log out of the internal webpage. To check the status of the update at a later time, log back in and select the firmware page.
Then, select the upgrade devices option and log back in to the light engine. If the update is still processing, the status bars will show accordingly. If the update
is complete, no updates will be available.

What will my devices do during a firmware update? See the answer on page 139.
Using the Auto Upgrade Function
The auto upgrade function is disabled by default and must be specifically enabled. This function ensures that devices that are paired with the
Wireless Area Controller automatically update the firmware if needed during the following circumstances:
•
If the Wireless Area Controller is updated and the controller firmware for the devices is newer than the installed devices, the update will
begin 1 hour after the Wireless Area Controller reboots from the controller update. The delay allows enough time for devices to rejoin the
controller after the initial controller update.
•
At any other time, if the firmware of a paired device is found to be older than what is in the Wireless Area Controller, the firmware of the
device(s) will be update at the user defined time after the discrepancy is detected.
To enable the auto upgrade function:
Step 1: Establish a connection from the computer and the Wireless Area Controller as the administrator user.
Step 2: Next, navigate to the firmware page. Under the device upgrade section, enable the option to allow auto upgrades and select the
desired time for the auto upgrade to run.
